On Boxing Day, after working straight through Christmas, Sen. Sgt Park was about to head home when he received a radio call about a motorcyclist who had plummeted over the edge of Mount Nebo, north-west of Brisbane.

Mr Bailey was pronounced dead at the scene by paramedics.

“I went into ‘police supervisor mode’ assuming like the other three road fatalities I had attended this year and the numerous others in my career, that the rider would be someone I didn’t know,” Sen. Sgt Park wrote.

“I asked if anyone had the rider’s name. An ambo showed me a page from his notebook where he had copied his details from the licence in his pocket. Look at that. He had the same name as Dave, but not an uncommon name. And today was his birthday.

“It wasn’t until I got back to my office that I did some more checks. My heart sank. I knew now there was no coincidence… The rider was Dave.”

Sen. Sgt Park said he dropped by Sarah’s house on his way home, the first time he had to visit the family member of a victim he knew.

“As I sat beside her and held her hand, Sarah said, ‘I’m pregnant.’”

“‘I don’t want to raise another one alone,’ she cried.”

Sen. Sgt Park said he had decided to share this story to remind motorcycle riders to ride more safely because there were people waiting for them at home.

“The unfortunate reality is that every year motorcyclists are proportionally over represented in our road toll,” he wrote.

“We make decisions every day. We weigh up the ‘pros’ and the ‘cons’ whenever we do. When it comes to how and when you ride, or drive, or fly or whatever you do for fun or for work, remember the ones that you could leave behind.

“If this story has touched you, I ask you to share it with others. But when you do, please tag in the names of anyone that it matters to you that they come home safely and add the hashtag #ridesafely4me.”

Sen. Sgt Park's post has been shared more than 2500 times on Facebook since it was posted this afternoon.

Hundreds of people have commented on the story, tagging friends and loved ones, imploring them to heed the warning.

A fundraising page has been set up for Sarah and her four children to help them support themselves in the wake of the accident.
